Over 100 years ago it turned into real mekka of artists – young painters, sculptors and modern designers. The trend started when Picasso, Chagall or Matisse as well as many others were coming here for inspiration – you’ll easily find out ‘why?’.  It’s no different today – many yet unknown artist find their home here and you would not believe your eyes seeing what combination it brings: middle-ages narrow streets with galleries, ateliers, shopping windows full of modern art. In case you are into this direction there is more: the world’s largest collection of contemporary arts also located in St Paul in honorable museum, the Maeght Foundation.

About Nice

Nice er den solrige hovedstad på den franske Riviera, med en palmekantet promenade langs en blå bugt og en pastelfarvet gammel bydel fuld af markeder.

Promenade des Anglais følger Baie des Anges i kilometer, med stenstrande og turkisblåt hav på den ene side og statelige hoteller på den anden. Vieux Nice, den gamle bydel, er en labyrint af smalle stræder, barokkirker og okkerfarvede facader, og Cours Saleya er vært for et blomster- og grøntsagsmarked.
